Nanaimo, <br />The line going up the east side of the Rock River in Rockford was C&NW. At one time it continued NE and E to Kenosha. The seven mile segment served/serves industries in Loves Park and North Park. One of the industries is the Warner Lambert Chiclets/Trident Gum plant. <br /> <br />Zardoz, <br />The Milw line east from Janesville to Rondout and Chicago crossed its line from Beloit to Sturtevant/Racine at Clinton, WI. <br /> <br />CShaveRR, <br />Perhaps you're aware that the Northwestern's Galena & Chicago Union line met up with the IC's Charter line at Freeport. Traffic interchanged there. Later, the IC built its own line into Chicago. It was predicted in the early days that Galena would grow into "Metropolis".
